Although I need german characters (LC_CTYPE), collation and formats
(LC_TIME, LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY) I want an english interface
(LC_MESSAGES). This should be possible by setting LANG to "de_AT" and
LC_MESSAGES to "en_US" or "POSIX" or "C". /etc/init.d/functions does
however only source and export the LANG environment variable which
causes undesired localization of the startup messages.
